What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundQuality of life is a multifaceted concept influenced by various factors. This study examines the relationship between gender role attitudes, body image concerns, and the quality of life among Balouch women, with a focus on the mediating role of marital relationship quality.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used a structural equation approach to analyze data from 297 married Balouch women attending urban healthcare centers. Proportional stratified sampling was conducted from June to September 2023. Data were collected via questionnaires on demographics, gender role attitudes, body image concerns, marital relationship quality, and quality of life. Analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, regression, and structural equations in SPSS24.
resultsThe results showed that the marital relationship quality had a significant positive direct impact on the quality of life of Balouch women. Gender role attitude had no direct relationship with quality of life, but it did affect the quality of life by influencing body image concern. Body image concern had a significant negative direct and indirect relationship with the mediating role of marital relationship quality on the quality of life of Balouch women. The results showed that the fit of the final model was good. (χ2 = 1.138، p < 0/001، GFI = 0.9، IFI = 1.023، RMSA < 0.001، CFI = 1.00).
conclusionsThe findings of this study provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the multifaceted factors influencing the quality of life among Balouch women. By addressing societal perceptions, enhancing marital relationships, and implementing targeted interventions, it is possible to improve the overall well-being of women in this community.
